They say that champions are made in the off season, and CRC’s cross country camp is here to help you get the most out of your summer training. Over the years, we've trained everyone from state champions to first-time XC athletes. Let's run!
At CRCXC Camp, you will get to:
- Log miles with the CRC
- Learn the basics of nutrition, race strategies, the training puzzle, and more
- Set challenging goals for the upcoming cross country season
- Meet others and make new friends from teams throughout the Columbus area
Beyond all the running and clinics, we keep things fun, with games interspersed throughout each day’s session. CRCXC Camp fills up quickly each year, so get yourself signed up and come run with us this summer.
If you're looking to take your training up to yet another level, be sure to also check out the Myers Running Camp, Ohio's premier overnight camp in southern Ohio held from July 10-13. Train with 3-time USATF national champ Rob Myers - a sub-4 miler and international track athlete - and Saucony.

Each day, camp begins at 8:30am at the Dublin location of the award-winning Columbus Running Company. Come dressed to run.
